An Interview With Lady Regina, Head Mistress of Florida's Famous 'Command Performance'

sb: Oh wow, thank You VERY much for this exclusive interview for Dickie Virgin, Lady Regina. i have heard so much about You and Your fabulous Dungeon! Please tell us a little about Your background. Where are You originally from?

LR: I'm from New England originally. I grew up in a strict family and went to Catholic school all the way through to college. So of course sex was considered VERY sinful and bad and dirty. Hence my life of perversion today.

sb: That happens a lot!. Please describe Your style of Domination?

LR: I'm very spontaneous and not really into heavy protocol. Once it's established that I am superior and I WLL be treated with deference and respect I can be creative and playful and have a bit of fun with my subs. Of course my idea of fun is some people's idea of sexual humiliation. I do all these degrading things to men and I'm totally getting off on it but I'm talking in this soft, sweet voice and acting almost clinically cheerful.

sb: Very cool! What is Your favorite type of scene?

LR: Forced feminization is probably my absolute favorite, with bondage and teasing/torture a close second.

sb: Please tell me the most intense scene You ever did?

LR: It was a strap-on session, his first time. Mostly what made the scene so intense was his need to be taken this way by a Dominant female and the tension between that need and the shame he'd had about it. Plus he was a skinny little thing and he reacted like he was possessed when I entered him so it was really intense physically.

sb: Wow, sounds awesome! i know You love humiliation scenes. Had any good ones lately, You would like to share with the readers?

LR: I was in session with Mistress Brittany and we wound up blindfolding this guy and tying his hands behind his back. He was completely naked of course and excited because the two of us were teasing him. We kept threatening to whisk him out the back door of the dungeon and drive off with him to show him off around town. It was meant to be a mind fuck, I thought he'd start begging us not to, offering to do anything we said but he didn't so I called for Christina (my sissy-slut/houseboy) and say 'Christina go bring the car around' The door of the Dungeon is open at this point and he being bound and naked, can feel the breeze on his skin but he doesn't cry"uncle" so we push him out the door naked, tied up, blindfolded, with this erection; throw him face down in the car (driven by the crossdressing housemaid) and (s)he drives around blasting Brittany Spears and screaming to other drivers (who may or may not have actually existed) that yes, she has a naked man tied up in her backseat and she'll cut them if they have anything to say about it.

sb: Oh wow, that might have been quite a sight to see! So You love crossdressers?

LR: So much! First of all I just love to do a guy up so he looks like a pretty girl, and I think I like the feel of the silky fabric and stockings as much as they do. Not every CD wants to be humiliated or fucked or abused, some really want to learn to act feminine and I can enjoy either type of scenario.

sb: Do You enjoy watersports?

LR; I've had some great scenes where golden showers were involved. What makes it good for me is the sub's appreciation of the gift that he is receiving and his excitement/gratitude. When it's just some nasty pig who thinks it's a clever excuse to peek at a Domme's pussy it's kind of not so hot for me.

sb: i totally agree Miss that is so disrespectful. Your legs and feet are absolutely exquisite. Do You enjoy foot worship?

LR: Thank you. And yes. Absolutely I LOVE to have my feet worshipped.

sb:. How about heavy corporal?

LR: I do. I have some slaves who are masochists and the energy that's flying around the room while I'm really giving them a beating.. It's better than making out and I'm not even touching them with my body at all, just the whip or the belt.

sb: What is Your favorite implement for this?

LR: I have a flogger made of electrical cords, it always leaves marks and really stings, that's my favorite in fact it's a general fave among the Mistresses at Command Performance.

sb: Do You have any personal slaves?

LR: I have one very devoted sissy slave named jennifer and a couple of promising candidates in training. I am always looking for a true slave but rarely find any that meet My standards.

sb: Please tell us about Your fantastic facility and the Mistresses who work there.

LR: Command Performance is the original Dungeon and BDSM/ fetish facility in Florida, certainly as far as pan sexual organizations go. Mistress Carla, who is kind of My scene Mom and mentor opened it in the early1990s. CP is a total fantasy environment. It has a gothic castle type atmosphere and lots of cages and racks and dark corners to sneak into for perversion and abnormal behavior as well as suspension and straight jackets and masks and all kinds of implements and devices. When I became Head Mistress after Mistress Carla got out of professional Domination, I added a Cross Dresser's Parlour, cause I love My sissies.

The Mistresses who work here are all terrific. Mistress Angelina is gorgeous and just a natural dominant, a woman who knows she is meant to be treated like a Goddess by men and demands it, or else. Mistress Brittany is my extreme anything goes, fearless fetish superstar. She's like a bbw version of Miss Bette Page and who wouldn't love that? Lady Lucretia is a red-haired, pale gothic she devil. She's absolutely unique. Definitely into heavy corporal. She's an equestrienne in real life so she's the pony play expert. Nikita is our sub/switch. She's totally open minded and into exploring all possible sides of her sexual identity. Plus she's Russian and has that killer accent...

sb: What an awesome staff! What is the greatest thrill You get from Domination?

LR: The electricity of the power exchange. When I really take someone deep into their subspace or push a limit or together we break through the sub's fear and repression and act out the fantasy the energy that is released is really a kind of magic.

sb: What is Your opinion of slaves who try to top from the bottom?

LR; Oooh! I'm supposed to say they have no place in My dungeon, right? Actually that's true for real, trained personal slaves. Those should never, ever try to direct the Mistress. On the other hand, as a pro Domme, meeting people, often novices or people who are uncomfortable and nervous about their desires; a certain amount of it is somewhat necessary at times of course respectfully and with the understanding that it's noblesse oblige on My part to listen to their input.

sb: Do you session with novices?

LR: Certainly. One of My favorite things about being a pro Domme is to give someone a great first experience of submitting to a powerful, superior woman.

sb: and You are certainly that! Do You have any fan clubs or groups?

LR: Not that I know of. Maybe a secret society somewhere.

sb: What can a sub visiting You for the first time do to please You?

LR: Impeccable manners, good hygiene and clear communication go a long way. Showing up bearing gifts doesn't hurt either.

sb: But you are much more than a professional and lifestyle Domina, perhaps you could share one or two of your other interests?

LR: I collect etiquette books and have midnight tea parties. I'll totally act (and dress) the part of an eccentric English grande dame ca. 1920 and break out the sterling silver tea set and fine china. I love steeping myself in the culture of really repressed eras like the Victorian or the 1950s. I have a lot of pinups and collections of old fetish erotica from the '50s and '60s and its very naughty but in an innocent way.

What's funny is the way that ads and commercials from that era look so hyper sexualized what with all the women in heels, corsets and cherry red lipstick acting sooo breathy and ultra girly.

I love noir crime novels by Jim Thompson or Raymond Chandler and also Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon which is all about the seedy side of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?

LR: I love getting long leather or latex gloves, sheer black stockings or lingerie (36c cup, size 6 panties usually or a medium if it's sized that way) or shoes (size 7), also I love perfume and wear Fracas or Juicy Couture. Of course practical gifts such as paddles, whips, nipple clamps, interesting restraints, shock collars(or cock rings) or a good strap- on& harness set always come in handy.

sb: Do You attend any public functions where Your many fans can meet You?

LR: I'll be at the Fetish Factory's anniversary party at the end of May and plan to go to Master Z's Kinky Kollege convention in Chicago this September.

sb: Do You also work with Women and couples?

LR: Yes, I do. I've had some hot scenes with sub women! nikita who works with me is switch and I sometimes pay more attention to her than the male client when we are in session together. In general though I'm always rooting for the female to seize power and start controlling things, it just seems right to me so when a couple is male Dom/female sub, I can respect it but it doesn't resonate with me at an emotional/erotic level.

sb: What Mistresses do You admire in the scene?

LR: Of course Grande Mistress Carla taught me so much about everything to do with being a Mistress. All the Dommes who work with me at Command Performance are fantastic and love what they do as well as being quite skilled. Goddess Olga is nikita's Domme alter-ego and she does medical fetish sessions at her own dungeon. When I started out as a Domme this I loved watching Irene Boss's videos (and still do) and I really admired Betka Schpitz's Venom Studio. There are so many really great Dominas who are doing it because they love it and its who they are and they really take pride in doing great bondage or role-play or mindfucking and I love that! Lots of strong amazing women getting out there and bringing men to their knees.

sb: Yes they are all great Dommes! How can prospective slaves contact you for a session?

LR: Email Me or call (954) 782-1778. Also, check out the website.

sb: Lady Regina, thank You, again, for giving me this exclusive interview. It really was an honor for me!

LR: You are very welcome, bruce.
